I gave up hope on the forums too. I think everyone on here gave up on the PC version when Rockstar did, it was so obviously heading that way with SA, IV just sealed the deal.

There was the traditional delay to release a finished game just to make sure people who own console and pc bought the console version then pc release just when nobody cares anymore to mixed reviews most citing the bug-ridden (failing to install) broken engined (rain/fog slowdown, terrible draw distances, complete system hog for no visual benefit) visually uninspiring featureless abortion that is now being patched with additional content.
